Well said

James Bow:

(E)ither Ignatieff has an idea of how to get us out of the economic crisis or he doesn’t. If he does, he should be making his suggestions now and, if necessary, working with the constitution to take charge to implement them. If not, then he should get out of the way and cede power to the professionals who do have the ideas. It says nothing good about the character of some Liberals that they’d allow individual Canadians to suffer so as to increase anger at the current governing party, making it easier for the Liberal party to take power down the road.

Say what you will about the merits or morality of Jack Layton and Stephane Dion’s coalition proposal, but these two leaders were still willing to put themselves in charge at a time when it may be very politically inconvenient to be so. That, in my opinion, is an example of two people putting their country before their parties, which is something we should laud.
